About our commercial air conditioning in Pratt's Bottom
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
Commercial systems in Pratt's Bottom are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. That means planning noise, outdoor unit positions and access with the landlord or managing agent, and installs are often done out of hours.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

What else we do in Pratt's Bottom
Cooling for Pratt's Bottom businesses
Food Standards Agency records list about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 3 schools and colleges and about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pratt's Bottom. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
If you look after a school such as Pratts Bottom Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays. If you look after a church or hall such as All Souls' Church, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Let and managed properties
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Pratt's Bottom.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Pratt's Bottom questions
Do you cover Pratt's Bottom for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Pratt's Bottom is within the area we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Pratt's Bottom?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern, and we plan for them.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
